Winifred Van Duzer's The Good Bad Girl, published in 1926, is typical of the romances of the era. A naive young lady named Mimsi Marsh leaves her small Connecticut town, Tranquility, and comes to New York to become an artist. She rooms with a girl named Trixie True and has a collie called Lucky. In order to pay the bills, she compromises her dream and becomes an artist's model. This is actually the highlight of her big city experience, which involves murder, drug use, and stalking.

Dust jacket of Young Man of Manhattan by Katharine Brush, 325 pp., Farrar and Rinehart, 1930. Plot: Toby McLean and Anne Vaughn, two newspaper columnists, marry with high hopes and dizzying speed, but the real problems start once the vows are exchanged. Careers clash and Toby finds himself the object of the affection of a bored socialite called Puff Randolph. The book was made into a movie the same year starring Ginger Rogers and Claudette Colbert.
